Can someone help me pls:
I'm trying to get gamebase to work.
for now i've managed to install BG 1.3 and 1.3 update. In same dir I've installed GB 1.6 and clicked "ok" on every warning that it the installation doesn't recognize gamebase in that dir
I've extracted in same dir GB 2.0 and GB 2.1

I've started GB but it says it's 1.3...

not as much sa I've tried to find, I just cant find info on how to upgrade from 1.3 to 2.1 so it's the first thing I need help on.
Second thing will probably fixed by first thing, and that is that GB 1.3 can't recognize WinUAE 3.5.0

you delete old winuae.exe and copy in emulators winuae.exe (3.5.0).
when you launch a game it use it (maybe you have to make again rescan roms or manualy change the path).

Gamebase 2.1.mdb works only if you have a folder named "GameBase 2.1".
after that you have to use GBToolbox to associate GameBase files and then you have to configure the path of emulators (if needed)

please understand, I have 0 (zero) knowledge about Gamebase and how to configure it so I really don't know where is "emulators" dir you are referring to because I have WinUAE it in "d:\igre\winuae\" and I have installed all of the gamebase versions in a "d:\igre\GameBase\".

1. Do I need to install all of them in order (1.3, then 1.3 update, then 1.6, 2.0 and then 2.1) or I can install only, for example, 1.3 and then 2.0 and 2.1?

2. After I've installed them, which .exe in gamebase dir is first to run? GBToolbox.exe maybe?

3. When I start GBToolbox.exe, I have two options "New gamebase" and "import romcenter 2.00 datafile". I have created "new database" and named it "example" but I don't know what should i do after that?

install 3 and copy file in the Gamebase directory created from 1
decompress gamebase amiga 2.0 and copy all files in Gamebase Amiga. If you have folder Gamebase Amiga (defualt 1.6 install) you have to change mdb fo 2.0 in GameBase Amiga.mdb.
Use then GBToolBox to associate it to database.

if it works, then update to GameBase Amiga 2.1 in the same way (if you have another mdb you have make the same things)
Use again GBToolBox.

If you emulator are not configured you have to go in "Gemus" menu from GameBase Database and choose "WinUAE v1.4.2a (Joystick)" that should be the first in the list (if not you have to use arrows to put in the first line)

Launch Gamebase Amiga and go in "Tool" and "Available Files" to load them in database.

yes, i made exactly in this way, but i don't know what archives he downloaded (i saw only those he listed here).
i download GB Amiga 1.6 many years ago from original thread on GB64.com forum.
Now i have GB 1.6 e GB 2.0; two distinct gamebase because i have much more games (adf, whd and sps) in my 1.6.

there's no WinUAE in any of these directories...
As I can see, WinUAE isn't included in any of the gamebase files anywhere (not in the 1.3 version, nor in the 1.6 and neither in GB 2.0)???
Can you please direct me to specific link where's gamebase with winuae which you are talking about and that should work?

If you have folder Gamebase Amiga (defualt 1.6 install) you have to change mdb fo 2.0 in GameBase Amiga.mdb.

I have copied all of the files from "GameBase Amiga 2.0 Core Files.zip" into c:\Gamebase
Also I've changed name "GameBase Amiga 2.0.mdb" into "GameBase Amiga.mdb"

I couldn't do anything with GBToolBox except to delete old database???
Could you explain in detail steps how to associate the database?

How do I choose it???
Only way I could get to anything that resembles your instruction is if I go to "GEMUS>Emulator setup wizard". There, on the step "Search for emulators" it asks me "Search path" where I direct it to the install dir of the Winuae (3.5.0, I don't have any other because of problem in first step in this thread) and then it lists me "Select the emulators you wish to setup" where I have from WinUAE 1.1 to WinUAE 1.5.0 BUT I can't choose any, neither the "select all" option works...

There's no such "Available Files" option. However there is "verify available Files" which is greyed out???

Why is this so hard????
Why the hell haven't anyone made "Gamebase full installation final V2.1" (included EVERYTHING) so you just have to click "GameBase.exe" to play your favorite games and not this monstrosity of a "update this, update that, then if your lucky and the moon is on the seventh parallel from the sun, you can include database BUT only if the winuae have pleased gods"
